Business Challenge

Networks are at the core of the information system and have a real effect on application performance and end user experience. Network managers are looking for tools to help them understand how the network effects application performance, correlate slow end-user response time to network performance bottlenecks, evaluate wide-area network (WAN) investments and assist with network and capacity planning.

Business Need

• Identify quickly specific problems on the network that impact application performance
• Manage and optimize overall flow and efficiency of the network proactively
• Start real cost-effective capacity planning
